This document describes a new design method for fractional-order PID (FOPID) controllers. It introduces a biquadratic approximation of fractional-order differential operators to create a new structure for finite-order FOPID controllers with fewer parameters to tune than existing designs. The proposed FOPID controller design uses the biquadratic approximation within a modular design approach, cascading multiple modules to improve robustness. A numerical example is used to verify the design method.
